閱讀理解。
     Venice is an attractive city in Italy. Tourists throughout the world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes
you'll have such strange experiences. One moment you walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing
special. Unfortunately, when you come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone's wearing
rain boots.   
     That's just the way it has always been, which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before
the sea comes to Venice, the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually (實際上), there were
many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods, but all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides,
the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工業(yè)的) factories built nearby on the mainland also made the
condition get worse, causing the city to sink about 0.75 feet in the 20th century.
     So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build
the MOSE project, which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government
are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros (歐元) on it. The MOSE gates are being
built at the inlets (海灣). Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long, 28.5 to 37 feel tall, and weight up to 22 tons. It's
nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use, under the sea full of water. When the flood
comes, the water in the gates will be poured out, and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go
up with the sea water. Once they're in the right place, they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice. These
gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet, and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two
feet in the next 100 years, the MOSE will work as expected.
      The MOSE project is now two-thirds done. The head engineer, Giovanni Cecconi, said, "This is a war.
During the war, it's not important that you win. It's important that you're alive. We've alive." Anyway, this
project is saving Venice from falling.
1. The underlined word "construction" in the passage means "_______" in Chinese.
A. 建筑
B. 農(nóng)業(yè)
C. 交通
2. Before building the MOSE gates, the Italian government _______ to stop the floods.
A. never built gates on the ground
B. built many kinds of gates on the ground
C. built some gates which were under the ground
3. When the flood comes, _______ can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Italian government ate using 3000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion dollars on the MOSE.
B. The MOSE project is half done now.
C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long, 28.5 to 37 feet tall, and weighs up to 22 tons.
5. The best title for this passage should be _______.
A. The Journey to Venice
B. The MOSE Project in Venice
C. Several Kinds of Floods in Venice

　　My respecting teacher

　　I always thought that a man who was wise (睿智的) and good would become rich, but this year I have learned that this is not always true. I learned this from my teacher. He is both wise and good, but is not rich at all, for being a teacher, he doesn't have a good income. He may be able to get more money if he gives up teaching for business.

He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help. He is kinder to us than anyone whom I've ever known. I think it must be easier to learn history or maths than to learn how to become such a man. He scolds (責(zé)備) us when we do something wrong, but it teaches us to try to do better. We all wish to study with him as long as possible, but that may be impossible.

A lot of teens aren’t responsible（有責(zé)任感的），and that’s where I’m different. Not just about school but everyday things like being able to pay my own credit card（信用卡）bills on time.

閱讀理解

We spent a few days in Paris last week. We visit the famous city quite regularly. After all, it only takes three hours from London to Pairs. It’s always a pleasure visiting places we really like, exploring areas we’ve never been.

The only unlucky thing this time was the weather. As soon as we got there the temperature reached almost 35 degrees C (which lasted until we left). It was so hot that Matthew just couldn’t stand it — for him, it wasn’t the most enjoyable trip. I felt sorry for him because every time we go there he has to put up with (忍受) my endless shopping spree (狂歡) …

Because of the heat, we ended up just having lots of ice-cream and drinks most of the time, although we managed to pay a few visits to the new Herme shop on rue de Vaugirard at least. It’s not as busy as the shop on rue Bonaparte so you can choose whatever you like without worrying about a queue behind you! I really enjoyed his bread this time as well as the cakes. And I must say that his Croissant aux Amandes and Bostock were simply the best I’ve ever had.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．It was the first time for the writer to go to Paris.

B．It was a long way from London to Paris.

C．The writer lives in London.

D．The writer only likes to go to places she has never been to.

2. The underlined word “stand” in the second paragraph means ____.

A．享受

B．忍受

C．站立

D．位于

3. What can you know about Matthew from the second paragraph? 

A．He doesn’t like shopping.

B．He doesn’t like travelling.

C．He is one of the writer’s relatives.

D．He isn’t a good husband.

4. The shops on rue Bonaparte ____.

A．has no bread that the writer likes

B．is often crowded with customers

C．don’t have anything the writer likes

D．is not very busy all the time

5.What’s the best title for the passage? 

A．An unpleasant trip

B．A great city

C．A shopping centre

D．A trip to Paris
